Until recently I managed to run Macros through Windows 2000 "Scheduled Tasks" using the SYSTEM account.
"Scheduled Tasks" - "Advanced" - "AT Service Account" (make sure this is set to "System Account".
Then create an old-fashioned AT schedule:
at 07:00 /every:M,T,W,Th,F cmd /c C:\Macro\ACL.MCX
This worked until SP4 got installed...
These tasks now return 'Could not start'
The above could maybe help those not yet on SP4.
Does anyone have an idea how to get this working post SP4.
When scheduling an MCX like that, my process explorer is showing that runmac32.exe is fired-off taking a handle on the MCX. The process stays there forever without returning any result.
